Great Honeymoon to Morocco and Spain!
Yamonee was great to work with. She helped us from start to finish and got us everything we asked for in our honeymoon well within our budget. We knew we wanted to go to Morocco for adventuring and then to relax on the beach somewhere. We had a great time riding camels into the desert in Morocco and ended up on a beach in the south of Spain for our last few days. It was an amazing experience and we will definitely be working with Yamonee again on our future travels.

Our Family Trip
Yamonee booked our 1st cruise for our family to Alaska starting with a tour from Calgary to Vancouver, Anchorage, Denali, and Fairbanks. It was a group trip and our flight to Calgary was delayed due to weather conditions. Yamonee was determined to get us out that night, she did a phenomenal job and we made it to Calgary. Her dedicated time in making sure her clients are satisfied is beyond expectations.

A flawless trip
I 've landed! It was an excellent trip and I was upgraded to an all wheel drive. I will be referring Yamonee to anyone who needs a travel agent! She is very knowledgeable on USA travel. If it wasn’t for her, I may not have taken this trip. I had some life changing moments in Colorado and received vital direction on making the move. Thank you for your time, effort, and energy in making this happen!

30th wedding anniversary trip
It was a pleasure working with Yamonee! We originally planned and booked a trip to Mexico for our family of 7 but at the last minute had to change locations. Yamonee worked very hard and helped us pick and book and new location. We had a wonderful trip with everything prearranged by Yamonee! We couldn't have done it without her! We will definitely book our next trip with Yamonee!
